    A fun little project (The reason for my measurement question)

    The reason I am wondering about freeboard is that I lucked into a fun little project last weekend that you might like to hear about. Any one who is into sailing or is British might have seen a British Seagull motor. They look like something from the 1920s with a brass remote tank, an exposed...

    Can some take a measurement for me please?

    Hi there, Still working away on my 1975 16 ft SS and have all the hardware off the deck for painting. Holes all filled in and sanded down and zinc chromated. Updated pics as soon as things warm up a bit. Can someone who has their Super Sports in the water (or can see the waterline on the...

    1975 Avocado "baby poop" green

    How's that for a title? You know the colour if you know Starcraft from that era. I'm wondering if anyone has a paint code, name or some lead on getting a colour match for it. I want to redo the deck in that original colour and the sides in white to tone it down a bit over all. Have any of you...

    Hitting the ocean in Vancouver BC

    I'm fairly new to the west coast of Canada and the wide open seas. This January I'm going to be taking a Power Squadron class to upgrade my skills and get my radio license. Best to learn about tides and stuff now me thinks. Anyway - for those of you with more time under your belts out on the...

    Filling screw holes in the deck

    Like any old boat - the deck sides on my SS are covered in holes from old downrigger brackets, moved cleats, old canvas snaps etc. I'm thinking of filling them all with Permatex Coldweld before I prime and repaint. Given the vibration and flex that these tinnies are subject to does anyone have...

    Pics of the 75 SS.

    No daylight pictures yet, but here are a few shots of the Super Sport. Hey - I figure at this time of year we all like to look at other boats and forget about the "no boating" months. :) These are the outside with the various canvases in place.

    Second battery for radio and overnight lighting

    This might be more than anyone can reasonably explain online, but I'd like to add a second battery so listening to tunes and running accessory lighting. (without risking rundown on the main battery) Are people doing this with a stand alone unit that has separate lines for plugins - and you...

    New member - new boat

    Hi there. New to the forum and found you after picking up a 1975 Supersport this weekend. She's 16ft, pea green and has had a lot of work done on her already. New floors, all new canvas and windows, a 1996 90hp saltwater Merc (with 32 hrs on it!) with power trim. The gauges are all newer as...
